Christina Bertrand learned that the difference quotient gives you the derivitive and the derivitive is the slope of any tangent line. Beat me.

I've also improved my follow-through 100 percent.

Over the summer I tested out of health. I found out I passed but I know for sure that I screwed up all of the male sex organs. Why the hell should I have to know about guys - I'm certainly not planing on becoming one. I like my IQ the way it is thank you very much.

Dear Detroit Tigers:I don't mind you losing once in a while, but 12-1 to the twins is unnacceptable. Plus I still HATE Shelton so get him out.

A Cruise Ship is the only way we can get Americans out of Israel and Lebanon? Bullshit. If we had a good president there would be forces in these two countries not only trying to stop the war and even more important trying to get our citizens out of warring countries. But our president is too busy not taking care of rising gas prices, global warming, ect. that instead of him going over to handle this he is sending Rice.

Think this isn't going to affect us? We are Israel’s primary benefactor which means we will be the people supplying them with weapons to use against Lebanon and the countries which will probably escalade into this (hence it being called WW3 on the news).

P.S:Iraqis hate Israelis, wouldn’t it be funny if when countries have to pick who’s side they want to be on if it is us vs. Iraq?

Midland Michigan is disgusting and roast beef is amazing as is the next person who tries to put berries on my meat will earn my hatred forever - unless they totally make up for it with 800 deserts like Nicole and Jeremy did!

So I've applied to 4 places for jobs and I'm putting an app in for family video but if anyone knows a place that I can get a job - even if it is for a dishwasher and only available from 2am-6am in the morning I'll do it (working girl hours... I will need some red lipstick though...)

I really need to start doing hw... I have health, ap english and calc stuff to do on top of psyc reading.

THose of you who took the ACT on June 10... scores are online tomorrow morning.

Today was the first time I've ever got to use my horn other than to wave at someone.

It was 12 and hayes, you can turn on red, the person wasn't, I honked, they went, I went, I was so excited I missed my turn.

I signed up for a political science class that is on mondays and wednesdays and those are the same days as musical practice and when I tried to drop and register for the same class on tuesday and thursday both things were closed so now I have to wait and talk to the teacher.

Jayme and I were doing a project and I was an anti-feminist, racist religious person. I also dissed Tupac.

I switched my answering machine on my cell from ashley simpson to an eminem and dr. dre skit. call it.

I'm sorry if you call my cell and want to talk to me - I will ahve it off for the next few days so people can call my phone and listen to my answering message.

I thought I lost a check for $50 but I ended up just leaving it at the family I babysit for's house. This weekend I only have 4 packets, 20 pgs outline, and old math assignments to do - 8 hours max. <3

Marcus: I might be able to come see your play this weekend w/ Eric and maybe Andrew and Paul... but I have to see if I can take the van - other than that it is a go. How much is a ticket? Oh and if we go it will be on Saturday night.

There will be a buttload of new movies coming out this month and I can't wait to see them, plus since we haven't gone to family video at common and utica in like 5 years we get every rental half off!

Megan: I heard you like Gilmore Girls now?! Congratulations.

There is only 2.5 months of school left. Excluding Spring Break but no other holidays, we have 47 days in school left. omg. I'm almost a senior.

And hotdog season is coming up because Tigers games are starting soon!

It's been a long time since I've updated but just so I'm not complaining to much in this entry: my life has been great. no strife, real nice, alright? I just found out that the verb 'to catch' in french is rattraper and when you conjugate it can be rattrape which is a double crime.

Today I was asked a personal question - and I hate personal questions because the answers cannot be found online or in books so I have to dig deep into my life. Anyway the question got me thinking about my friends. I love my best friends to death. But I don't have any best guy friends. I think my first "best guy friend" would be kind of low on my list if you exclude my brother who is probably my best friend in the world. I just can't cry in front of guys and I can't complain about cramps so I find I have very little use for them. This is not to say that I don't love them.. they are hilarious and helpful when it comes to solving problems and I am so greatful I have some but I'm not able to say that I have a lot of best guy friends.

Lately I haven't been wasting my time thinking about how retarted people are. This is the first time in my entire life where I'm able to get over it and remember to think of where they will be in 10 years as opposed to where I will be.

Props to every guy who hasn't stuck is hand down his pants in the middle of class or in a public place.

who the hell would go to that antiquated mating ritual?I would. But I don't have a date.You're missing the point - we're making a statement.

~We got all 1s at MSBOA!~Remember when I used to l-o-l-o-l-o-l-o-v-e Brian Peck? Well he gave me aride home once from STUCO, and I gave him a ride home saturday which means the cycle has completely ended. I thought it was really funny!~I got to see Erica, Bobby and Timmy!!! <3~For the past 3 days I've had no hw in AP!~I went shopping by myself for the first time ever in my life!!!! I feel soo independent!~I got to go out to dinner w/ Megan Ford - I hope you are feeling better!~After 2 unsuccessful attempts to rent Pride and Prejudice from Family Video, I finally got it! third time is a charm after all and now I'm preventing others from seeing it because I'm keeping it a day late...

I am sooo glad that I finally have a friend who I can talk about current issues, history and our hatred of republicans with.

I cannot imagine not being able to get married to someone I love or not be able to adopt kids. I can't believe that in the year 2006 there are people in our country whose rights are being diminished. It is as if women's suffrage movements and the civil rights movement never happened. How dare anyone say that any human being doesn't deserve to be happy?

GO to the HuHot at 14 and Utica. It is amazing - and get smores.

From the Daily Show w/ John Stewart(<3): The war in Iraq has cost about 283 billion dollars - averaging about $2000 per tax payer. But, don't think about it as $2000 you don't have - you see, the US took out loans from other countries like Saudi Arabia and China. So think about it as 200,000 your grandchildren don't have. And seriously, who gives a fuck about them?

I have at least 18 hours of homework to do because it is a makeup break and I have hw leftover since dougherty let me off the hook the entire week before break because of my mom. I have 3 outlines and like 8 packets to do and 2.5 term things to do which is like 90 terms.

I hurt my left buttcheek muscle and so I walk a little bit weird right now, but it isn't too noticeable. We went on a rehab/nursing home expedition today and I fell in love with Autumn one we went to - it is gorgous and the people there are so nice. They have a great rehab place, ginormous showers and it doesn't smell bad. Hopefully my mom will be able to get in their tomorrow and out of the hospital.

I've played a lotttt of piano this week, and I've hardly touched the trombone that I promised mr. holt I would learn how to play before jazz band - which means 5 days left to learn how to play trombone w/ no book. I was not aware there was a 7th position.

Erica Kerr - aren't you soooooooo glad that Logan and Rori got back together?! I've never hated a fictional charecter more than Logan's dad... and I just know that there is a person in real life who is just like Logan's dad somewhere in the world and when I find him I will kill him - no joke. Omg, and when Logan gave Luke the necklace I was soooooo happy, the 4 of them will make such a cute family if the gilmore girls can ever manage actually getting married.

Dear Marshall aka: Slim Shady, aka: Eminem, My brother, David, was rapping today with a beat that he made on his computer. In it he says "Throw your mittens up!" I think that in your next video you should have a segment where you have everyone "Throw thier mittens up." The mittens, you see, have symbolism. They represent our state. We also live in Michigan, however, we do not live in Detroit. Instead, we live an a prodominently white neighborhood, and in the middle class. You might not have been able to tell, though, because I speak pretty hip, or "gutty" as some call it. I hope that you do say this, because it is a terrific way to "rep" our state!

i dont remember the exact quote but the other day bush said something to the effect of..."the world has ears and we need to open our eyes and listen to what they're saying"

I am soo tired. I have way to much homework and I have been doing way too much work. Thank you everyone who has either let me cry in front of them or who has helped me and my family out over the past couple of days - it is greatly appreciated.

Solo and Ensemble is coming up fast and I am completely confident in my duet unless we get a judge from hell then we definetely have a one. My solo is shaky. I'm going to practise as much as I can over the next couple of days, but I won't get anything below a two. My quintet for sure unless we die or have the best day of our lives will get a two. And flute chior will probably get a two. But, on the S and E topic. I am really mad at Burkett right now because she claims that she knows me and I'm one of her kids, and yet she is a total bitch to me. I really appreciate you bitching me out about not having my score after I had been gone all day and I was allready worn out and pissed off. Thank you soo much. Oh, and to Mr. Holt: At least from Burkett I can expect it but I thought you were more mature than that. My favorite part is that you did it right before I had to perform, how sweet of you.

I reallllly love Beauty and the Geek. My favorite quote: "What is the capitol of Iraq?""Can you speel that please?""I-R-A-Q, and the question is: What is the capitol of Iraq?""Um, I'm going to have to say... Afghanistan."

In English we read 'A Modest Proposal' and it is my favorite solution to poverty ever: eat the 3/4s of the babies after they are one year old. We can export the meat, make their skin into gloves and boots, and we will have a good source of nutrition! ~ Johnathon Swift. I love it.

Everyone talks behind peoples backs - some do it less than others though. I have my moments where I will bitch people out to other people - unless I've promised. But everyone does that. Some people are even stupid enought to point at someone walking towards them and tell the other person stop talking when that person comes over.

Now, luckily for me, I already hate this person who pointed - and I'm pretty sure that I know what she was talking about. Here is the problem - the other person is a girl who I have defended till no end when other people say shit about her. I love how one sided this friendship is. So much for loyalty.

My suspicion that they were talking about me behind my back was confirmed when a mutual friend told me they were. Now the other people who are talking behind my back about a diet pepsi controversy that is fine because I've talked behind your back about things and so I don't expect you to have my back - and I really don't expect you to make educated decisions about htings either.

OK - don't bs about stuff you don't know like facts about food. Especially when 3 people at the table are on diets. DO NOT PISS OFF WOMEN WHO ARE ON DIETS. I asked her where she found it and she said on the internet. It is interesting that when I asked if she could give me the internet site she said "why do you need the internet for everything anyway - it's all just lies." (Me>)"Then why do you believe it?" Don't be retarted - if you want to say something than have facts to defend yourself.

There is also my huge problem right now that interestingly enough I have only told one person and this person isn't even one of my really good friends. Speaking of not really good friends but people who I still consider good friends: it is amazing how none of my freinds either A) give a fuck or B) have noticed how sad I've been lately over something and I would like to say thank you to my good friends who have noticed and who have cared. It means a lot.

It was amazing today when as I was walking home from school, Marcus and Steph and 2 other people picked me up and I was sooo happy for like 2 minutes because of that so thank you sooo much!

I got an 80% on my math quiz today. Oh and I'm not good at math so this is good for me. Here is what my superdooper friend said "That quiz was easy how did you get so many points wrong?"

I am so glad it is the weekend. I seriously need new friends - ones who are loyal and trustworthy and worth my time.

Angie Caponi I WANT TO SEE THAT PICTURE!!!! how cute - has he cut his hair?

I am really scared of people robbing our house because for some reason our garage is always open which scares me - then I always close it and then it is magically back open.

If you play risk and say that you get 1 person for every territory then whoever goes first wins duh. That is a bad way to play.

Happy New Year. I can't believe it is 2006. It seems like just yesterday that I was a freshman and my classes were easy and I had not a care in the world. So I have 3 New Years Resolutions 1 is private but I guess I'll tell you all my other 2. they are not that exciting but: A 4 on my AP exam at the end of the year, and a 28 or higher on my ACT.

Are resolutions and goals the same thing?

I hope Erica is feeling better and I wish I could see you. I'm going to in a week and .5 though! hotel party!

Oh, So originally I was going to take my drivers test January 25, but my dad will be out of town until the 27 so I have to take it hopefully the 27 if his plane gets in before Elite closes or I might even have to take it the 28.

I bought really cute shoes and jeans. Then I went to that restaurant by AMC30 and the hot waiter spilled ranch and it got on my jeans and right shoe. BUT. People look at your left shoe right? I mean, they are right handed which means they look to thier right which is my left?
